  1. Cell Membrane

  2. Hydrophilic Hydrophobic Hydrophilic

  3. Fluid-Mosaic Model • Three components: • Basic membrane referred to as phospholipid bilayer • Protein molecules • Float around like icebergs on a sea • Membrane proteins may be peripheral or integral • Peripheral proteins are found on the inner membrane surface • Integral proteins are partially or wholly embedded (transmembrane) in the membrane • Some have carbohydrate chains attached • Cholesterol

  4. Singer & Nicolson Fluid Mosaic Model

  5. Membrane Proteins • Channel Proteins: • Tubular • Allow passage of molecules through membrane • Carrier Proteins: • Combine with substance to be transported • Assist passage of molecules through membrane • Cell Recognition Proteins: • Provides unique chemical ID for cells • Help body recognize foreign substances • Receptor Proteins: • Binds with messenger molecule • Causes cell to respond to message • Enzymatic Proteins: • Carry out metabolic reactions directly

  6. Membrane Proteins

  7. Movement Across the Membrane

  8. Plasma membrane is differentially (selectively) permeable • Allows some material to pass • Inhibits passage of other materials • Passive Transport: • No ATP requirement • Molecules follow concentration gradient • Active Transport • Requires carrier protein • Requires energy in form of ATP

  9. Diffusion

  10. Osmosis

  11. Types of Transport:Osmosis • Isotonic Solution • Solute and water concentrations equal on both sides of membrane • Hypotonic Solution • Concentration of solute lower than on other side • Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will swell • May cause cells to break – Lysis • Hypertonic Solution • Concentration of solute higher than on other side • Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink – Plasmolysis

  12. Facilitated Transport is Passive Transport with help • Small molecules • Can’t get through membrane lipids • Combine with carrier proteins • Follows concentration gradient • Active Transport • Small molecules • Move against concentration gradient • Combining with carrier proteins • Requires energy

  13. Facilitated Diffusion

  14. Active Transport • Macromolecules transported into or out of the cell inside vesicles • Exocytosis– Vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and secrete contents • Endocytosis – Cells engulf substances into pouch which becomes a vesicle • Phagocytosis – Large, solid material into vesicle • Pinocytosis – Liquid or small, solid particles go into vesicle • Receptor-Mediated – Specific form of pinocytosis using a coated pit

  15. Sodium-Potassium Pump is Active Transport

  16. Exocytosis

  17. Endocytosis

  18. Cell Surfaces in Animals • Junctions Between Cells • Adhesion Junctions • Intercellular filaments between cells • Tight Junctions • Form impermeable barriers • Gap Junctions • Plasma membrane channels are joined (allows communication)
